This policy is hardly going to help attract the best minds in essential fields to the UK, probably the exact opposite., how long will it be before we go from world leaders in a field to one that is lagging the world.

Agreed with that, similar to the climate crisis. In fact there was a question on here some time ago, asking if we should tell the truth that we either act now or face oblivion or we should try and water down the issue as if it is not that serious.

My response was that I prefer the former option, painful to be told the truth about the environment, but it HAS to be done sometimes.

Similar to trying to find alternatives to products made from oil, some are harder to make through other methods, if we have give them up too then in some cases, so be it. If we have to go back to glass bottles to replace plastic again so be it.

So if this bill passes he will probably end up being prosecuted for executing his right to use Ted, rather than Edward,

Yes, standards have dropped and with AI writing things for us, we will lose our ability to think, about what we are writing, be critical, research and redraft.

I think maybe part of the issue is deadlines and the expectation a story will be updated every second, whereas before we had a newspaper reporting an event, then updates the next issue, (usually late or next day edition).

People seem to be in denial, and esp big tech who don't want to admit there is a problem that their platforms are being exploited to help spread the messages of hate. Musk is a good example of someone who would rather sue you for calling out a legitimate issue as admiting it, means it has to be dealt with.

Saying that, surely a well educated, rational person with decent values would see what is happening and stand up to it even if it feels doing so is a waste of time.

Does this problem not also extend further? Tools that allow a face to be extracted and superimposed on to a nude image in such a way it can be difficult to tell it has been manipulated. Again hugee issue, and esp for the victims. But no one seems to know how to deal with it.

The regulators are also a total waste of space, as they have the powers to act but either cannot do so, or are not backed up by the courts or other parties needed to enforce.

Sounds good, hopefully we can get some good observational data when that star does go supernova.

Which seems to be the problem,
